        "summary": "The Cianjur Regency Food Crops, Horticulture and Plantation Office (TPHP) is implementing mitigation measures to address the severe drought affecting the region, particularly during the current planting season. Water debit in the Cisuru Dam has drastically fallen, impacting irrigation for rice fields in several districts, with some areas already reporting crop damage. Authorities are coordinating water distribution schedules and deploying pumps to ensure supply reaches the most affected downstream areas.",
        "content": "<p>The Cianjur Regency Food Crops, Horticulture and Plantation Office\n(TPHP) in West Java has prioritised mitigation efforts to anticipate and\ncontrol the impact of drought during the dry season. The current\nplanting season, running from April to September, coincides with the\npeak of the dry spell, which is predicted to be quite extreme.<\/p>\n<p>Plt. Head of the Cianjur TPHP Office, Wahyu Ginanjar, stated that\ninformation regarding climate developments had been disseminated to all\nlevels since early April, following a circular from the Ministry of\nAgriculture and a prediction letter from the Meteorology, Climatology\nand Geophysics Agency (BMKG). \u201cWe have been open with information to all\nUPTDs and agricultural extension officers (PPL). In principle, we have\nmitigated to anticipate and control the impact of drought due to the dry\nseason,\u201d Wahyu said on Monday (20\/7).<\/p>\n<p>His office has received reports of drought impacting agricultural\nland, notably in Sindangsari Village, Ciranjang District. The TPHP\nOffice immediately held a coordination meeting with the Citarum River\nBasin Centre (BBWS) and other relevant technical elements. The drought\nin Sindangsari is attributed to a drastic drop in water debit at the\nmain Cisuru Dam. Under normal conditions, the Cihea Irrigation Area (DI)\nreceives 7,000 litres per second, but this has now fallen to 3,400\nlitres per second. Wahyu noted that water supply is also hampered by\ncompeting uses for fisheries and settlements, as well as blockages in\nwaterways caused by plastic waste.<\/p>\n<p>To address this, the TPHP Office and stakeholders have implemented a\nwater distribution schedule since 6 July 2026, prioritising downstream\nrice fields. They are also optimising the use of water pumps and\nadjusting planting schedules. \u201cWe have asked for the water rotation\nschedule to prioritise downstream areas. There are many sluice gates\nthat have been locked according to the schedule but were damaged by\nirresponsible individuals,\u201d Wahyu added, urging residents to help clear\nrubbish from secondary and tertiary irrigation channels.<\/p>",
